Description What would you do if a former lover you hadn't seen for 24 years turned up unannounced on your doorstep and held you to a youthful promise of eternal love? "The Woman Before" opens with this intriguing proposition.
Frank and Claudia are happily married and are preparing to move house with their teenage son Andreas, when Romy arrives with her doorstep ultimatum. On the surface, Frank's initial rejection of Romy seems simple enough but, when she's found bleeding and seemingly near death, events rapidly unravel as they are replayed through a fractured prism of time and memory.
